How do I find out about new releases?

There is a mailing list for these announcements

       net-snmp-announce@lists.sourceforge.net

To be added to (or removed from) this list, visit

       http://www.net-snmp.org/lists/net-snmp-announce/

Or you can send a message to the address

       net-snmp-announce-request@lists.sourceforge.net

with a subject line of 'subscribe' (or 'unsubscribe' as appropriate).

Advance notice of upcoming releases are also made on the net-snmp-users list (for "release candidates") for a week or two before the full release, and on the net-snmp-coders list (for "pre-releases") during the period prior to this.

Major code revisions may be announced more widely, but these lists are the most reliable way to keep in touch with the status of the package.

Patches to fix known problems are also made available via the web site:

       http://www.net-snmp.org/patches/
